A Day Out

Took a trip up to Lititz, PA late yesterday with my sweet hubby.

It was so great just to spend the day with him.  I did some shopping and came home with 

this treasure.....a very primitive gray green bench with a lift top lid for tons of storage.

I had seen this on my last trip to Lititz and was thrilled to see it was still there.

 Need to get it decorated for Christmas.

Loving the color and the patina!

I treated my sweetie 

to dinner at JoBoy's....they have THE BEST burgers.

And a wonderful Porter.

I love visiting this wonderful little town and visiting with local friends.

Always good to see Susan and Cindy at Day's Gone By Creations.

The street and shops were all lit up and decorated.

Still smiling from a great day out with my best friend and love.

Smiles, Nan

Gourd Decorating

I got my gourd fix on at Days Gone By Creations in Lititz PA a few weeks ago when I went there with friends. I love the way they all look on top of our pie safe.

Lunch at Jo Boy's with good friends.  Love our road trips together.

Recent Trip

I took a trip this week back to Lititz, PA....hard to stay away. 

Met up with a few friends for lunch and shopping.

We always have the best time chatting and laughing:)

We made a detour first to Lancaster to visit a little cross shop that I've had on my radar.

What a treat it was to visit Stitches Unlimited and meet the owner, Pat Young and her cross stitch guru, Jan.

Two very sweet and helpful gals.

Stitches Unlimited
721 Olde Hickory Rd, Lancaster PA 17601

717-560-9416

 

W all had to purchase some floss.  Always a color or two that I can use more of.

I'm such a lover of BBD designs and had to get a snap of this beauty they had stitched and hung on their wall.  Feast of Friendship...so appropriate since it was a friend outing after all.

Carriage House Samplings is also another favorite of mine and I did not have the hornbook design in my "collection" so I had to purchase that chart and a few others that were calling my name...:)

We had so much fun looking around and adding to our stash!  I know we will visit again soon. It's only about 10 minutes outside of Lititz.  We were taking pictures and

this little old man asked if we wanted him to get a shot of all of us. He was so sweet and tried so hard to work my phone, but got a more sidewalk that us...LOL.

 L to R.... Mimi, Susan, me and Pat. 

We had such a great day together!  Thanks girls for a fun filled day!

I'll be back soon to show more pics of our shopping spree at Days Gone By Creations.

Happy Friday my friends!

Road Trip to Lititz PA

Yesterday was the perfect day for a road trip.  Sunny, but cool.  Perfect Fall day for shopping in the beautiful little town of Lititz, Pa.  My friend Mimi and I set out early and made it there in no time.  So, as promised, here are pics of our day!

We decided to have an early lunch before walking around.  We ate at a lovely historic tavern called the General Sutter Inn.  The food and service was wonderful and it was just the perfect way to start our visit.

Afterwards we walked along the street going in and out of all the shops.

There were some great old houses on the street.

I just loved this one with it's gray door and shutters and pair of rockers too.

The reason for our trip was to visit the open house at Days Gone By Creations.  You can not leave this shop without buying something or maybe one of everything :D.  Mimi and I were in primitive heaven :) and Cindy, the owner, is such a sweetie.  It was wonderful seeing her again and she did the most amazing job on the displays and front window.

Here are just a few pics of the shop.  Yep.....drool......

My friend and former TDIP sister, Susan Burd of Country Crocks, was there too.  I just love Susan and always enjoy our chats.  I was excited to introduce Mimi to her.

My two buddies........

Here are the treasures I left with.....

Two sweet bee's wax stocking ornies, an 1803 candle called Cookies for St. Nick, smells unbelievable, and a primitive paddle.

We also stopped for a little refreshment at the local pub, Sturgis Haus Brewery.

I wet my whistle with a half pint of Krauses Haar.  A favorite of mine when here.

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed seeing the pics of our visit to Lititz.  Cindy told us there is another open house in the Spring and I'm sure Mimi and I will make the trip back for it.

Happy Weekend all,

~Nan
